yup, buy old rigs/laptops “for parts”. This is what I’ve been doing.
Also go to thrift stores and look for old DVRs. you can take the HDs out of those and they’re usually in the 1tb range.
Mainly i’ve been buying old laptops purely for the ram and ssds.
my guy out of ALL the illegal shit he’s done you honestly thought THIS was the thing that would stop him? no. He has literally killed children. He could do it on live TV right now and nothing would happen to him. He could round up all the people he doesn’t like, go on fox news, and put a gun to the back of each of their heads and pull the trigger on live TV and nothing would happen.
You’re in a fascist dictatorship. Laws don’t apply to fascist dictators. he’s murdered and raped people, children even, he rigged the last election, he has a gestapo that kills american citizens with zero consequences, he has concentration camps.
There’s only 3 ways he’s going to be stopped, only 3.
that’s it.
oh neat. so that means this ruling will be enforced right? …right?
of course it won’t. it’s another dog and pony show from the US.
Canadian here. We find you annoying. Daily, multiple times a day, we’re just slammed in the face with your bullshit. “What Trump is doing is illegal” or “Democrat Sen. says what Trump has done today is illegal” and then…fuck all is done about it. Meanwhile we wake up this morning to see former Prince Andrew has been arrested and we kind of just throw our hands up like “ok…now your turn”
Again, another example FROM TODAY, Trump has taken 10bil from the US and put it into his “Board of Peace” essentially controlling his own personal slush fund. Right on queue Democrat Senators and Reps are saying “that’s illegal!” ok…you going to do something about it THIS time? I’m still waiting on Ro Khanna to “draft up” those charges against Pam Bondi that he said he was going to do last December.
It’s all talk and very little, if any, action from your leaders and it’s annoying. And ALL of them are complicit in this including your favourites be it Bernie Sanders or AOC or Crockett. They all make sure they get a good sound bite or twitter post in and then…nothing, no follow through. another couple reps list off names from the files and then…nadda. One just straight up came out and said “Trump raped kids” soooooo where’s that impeachment? arrest? no? nothing?
And the infuriating thing is your Republicans NOW know they can get away with it. Again look at how Bondi behaved. many Americans on here and on reddit were saying “she’s acting that way cause she’s scared” no she wasn’t. she’s was acting that way cause she knew she could get away with it.
And to TOP it all off you still have your fellow americans posting daily things like “I think we’re the baddies now” or “we’re starting to become fascist” or “I don’t like America either”. You just don’t get it. You still have yet to accept the fact that you currently ARE a fascist country. you ARE the Nazi’s. you ARE the enemy. Even this post “Hey guys look how much Canada doesn’t like us NOW” now? NOW!? newsflash, we haven’t liked you for a good long while. We’ve TOLERATED you. We’ve rolled our eyes at you for decades. Even the insulting posts people made of “We’re sorry Canada”. no, stop. That’s like saying you chose to make a sandwich out of turds and puke instead of ham and cheese and then you gave the sandwich to the world and after we took a bite you said “oh, my bad, I shouldn’t have done that huh?” It’s like NONE of you get it until WELL after the fact and in many cases a lot of you STILL don’t get it.
We don’t want to hear your apologies anymore, we just want you to accept the fact that you’re Nazi’s, you’re the bad guys and MAYBE you’re going to consider fixing the mess you made. But as a Canadian who has had the unfortunate “pleasure” of living above you I know you’re not going to. I know you might fix the current problem but a few years down the line we’ll be right back at it again. I’ve lived through your Reagan and Bush years (multiple) you keep ramping up the worst you can be and I’m more scared of the person you elect AFTER Trump.
No, we don’t like you, and many of us never have.
The ability to have virtual desktops only on the primary screen
sigh. I guess. I think I just need to settle on the fact KDE is never going to allow dedicated virtual desktops per monitor. I really want to use Plasma but this is a deal breaker for me.
it’s already available? CachyOS for example switched to using it as the default like a month or two ago. It’s already out there.
I didn’t say it was constant. I only said every now and again on the free trial I’d get an ad. Maybe it’s because I only used it with Qutebrowser. I don’t know. but I know that sometimes I would get an ad on a video.
there’s no point. I tried the free trial of youtube premium cause i’m on Qutebrowser and the adblocking isn’t the greatest. even with Premium i’d still randomly get ads every now and then. IF i were paying for it I’d be pissed.
Now I circumvent this by just opening all the videos in MPV.
Kid in high school already wants in on the right wing grift. annnnnnnd he’s done it. the other Nazi’s will hold him in high regard like that fat dough pissy boy rottonhouse. He’ll be getting calls from Erika asking him what he thinks of her new leather pants cause we know she likes em young.
good jorb.
I loved the original Black & White way back in the day but I never really clicked with his other games, even Fable.
I just remember the mini documentary that Tech TV had on him that they would repeat over and over. and even way back then he was getting called out on his over promising for his games. like the original Fable was a fraction of what he promised it would be.
welp there ya go! problem solved.
sure they’re leaving but…where? what’s a viable alternative?
I mean if I had it my way everyone would just go back to IRC, I still use IRC. it’s great, nothings changed, it’s perfect. combine that with like mumble or teamspeak and you’re good to go.
I checked out Stoat lastnight and it’s very slow. took well over an hour to get a verification email (I assume because many others were signing up) and the current server offerings are minimal. Also a good majority of the themes listed simply don’t work. it’s growing and I’d say it’s the best alternative right now but it’s not there yet and I worry it or the various instances of it could hold up if there was a massive Discord exodus.
Matrix is a no and xmpp ain’t much better.
potentially. it’s going to become more of the norm as more nations enforce stuff like this to “protect the kids” coughget your id and know what you’re doing onlinecough
Also keep in mind Discord is just about to launch their IPO in March so the timing lines up.
they do. desperately. it’s been stated for awhile now.
doubt it. better off just setting up channels in libera chat on IRC and doin voice via teamspeak/mumble like we used to do it back in the day.
shit, someone needs to bring back ICQ.
early internet “culture” to a younger person. They didn’t get it.
In today’s online world you openly post your photo online, where you’re from, what you do, etc and anyone can see it. I had to explain to them that back then (late 90s/early 00s) posting your photo or real name online was a no-no. it was actively discouraged. But then in turn because of the way you primarily communicated with people online either via IRC, forums, ICQ, AOL IM, etc you kinda had a closer relationship with these people even if you didn’t know what they looked like or what their names were.
Also the fact that in most cases a lot of people simply couldn’t put their photos online either because they didn’t have access to a scanner or a digital camera. I told them that one of my best friends online that I would talk to daily I still to this day have no idea what they looked like.
what do Kid Rock and the Homeless have in common? both are “banned” in California.
sounds like me this past week when my external SSD decided to finally crap out on me. running around the house plugging it into multiple devices to make sure it was dead.
